A Game-Changing Trick for Deploying Powerful AI Agents
To build truly capable AI agents, you need tools, a set of APIs that connects to your back-end systems. I’ve finally nailed down a powerful workflow for building AI agents that can seamlessly interact with my back-end systems. The key? Turning your serverless back-end into a toolkit for your agent. Example Use Case: AI Scheduling Agent Imagine an agent that schedules meetings for you. It needs to: 1. Check your Google Calendar. 2. Determine available time slots. 3. Collect participant details. 4. Send invitations. A simple API call won't cut it—this requires orchestrating multiple steps. Here’s the simple yet effective approach: 1️⃣ Build a FastAPI app—create multiple endpoints, each handling a specific task. 2️⃣ Containerize with Docker—Package everything into a docker image. 3️⃣ Deploy on Cloud Run—Use Cloud Build and Artifact Registry to automate deployment of your container. 4️⃣ Integrate with ElevenLabs—Create an AI conversational agent. 5️⃣ Equip the agent with API tools—Guide it to intelligently leverage your back-end. 6️⃣ Profit—Enjoy a fully capable, scalable, and cost-efficient AI agent. Benefit: ✅ Full customization—tailor agents to your exact needs. ✅ Scalable—handle multiple agents efficiently. ✅ Cost-effective—pay for what you use. With this setup, you get custom AI agents that don’t just chat but act, executing complex workflows autonomously. 🚀 Bonus tip: - You can use a python class method to make many agents with similar tools thanks to the API of ElevenLabs 🚀 I will really bet on this in the future and would love some feedback on this.
